SPEEDBOAT killer Jack Shepherd has been freed from jail after serving just half of a six-year sentence over the death of his Tinder date.
The 36-year-old, who spent 10 months as a fugitive after fleeing to Georgia ahead of his trial, was let out despite pleas from victim Charlotte Brown's father for his release to be blocked.
Shepherd was finally jailed in April 2019 and has served half of his six-year term for manslaughter over Charlotte's death in a 2015 crash, plus time for an attack on a barman in 2018.
Sources claim he left HMP Dovegate, near Uttoxeter, East Staffs, on Tuesday in the back of a silver estate just after 5pm.
It is unclear where Shepherd went but his release will mean more heartache for Charlotte's devastated family.
